So was the glider tug version known as the Long Stirling or the bomber the Short(er) Stirling? Wasn't that the Wellington with its geodesic frame that was supposed to stretch, like a trellis fence?
Didn't the Mossie have a similar bomb load to the B17's and B 24's? That would have been something if the Americans had taken the Mossie for mass production in the same numbers as the Fort and Liberator. Although the films of massed formations would have lost some of their majestic procession across the skies as the cameraman tried to keep up with the Mosquito's. Any truth in the rumour that the Mexicans were planning on building a copy, called the Mesquite?!! Groan!! Hat, coat, byeee!!
